This blog started when I owned and MZ Skorpion Traveller and a bike magazine dismissed it with the phrase 'you can't tour on a single'. The Skorpion's gone and I now have a Triumph Bonneville, but I can't be bothered changing the title of the blog!

Friday bike

Thinking about a new
sportsbike for the summer? Have some spare cash in your bank account?
Then this could be the bike for you.

Honda RC213V-S

The RC213V-S is a road
going version on Honda's Moto GP bike. Built as one of those 'look
what we can do' projects, like the NR back in 1979, the
RC213V-S is bound to equally unlikely to be seen outside of a private
collection, and almost certainly not on the road.

There has been some
speculation as to price, but the latest figures I could find were:

21.9 million Yen =
£114,000 = 157,000 Euros = US$ 177,000.

Honda will be taking
orders from 13th July, and as they are only going to be
building a limited number, be sure to get your order in early to
avoid disappointment.

To put the price into
perspective, you could buy a Yamaha R1M, a BMW S1000RR, Kawasaki H2,
a Ducati Panigale R, and an Aprilia RSV4 RF, and still have money
left over!
